ListView in ListView - Access fields of outer View from inner View

[Markus Hintzsche]

I've got one Form, called Message.

It consists of a field "content" and a smart classifier to itself called ParentMessage.

I now want to display all Messages hierarchically with ListViews.

Therefore I've got a ListView with filter ParentMessage is empty. Inside this ListView I'm adding a new ListView if there are records that have ParentMessage = current entry.id (direct children).

In this inner ListView I want to access fields of outer ListView, but don't know how, since both listViews are based on the same Form. Is there a way to to this?

Thanks in advance.

You can do that through the "ParentMessage" field that you have....

ParentMessage.field_in_a_message_form

You really thought about everything in ConfiForms did you? Thanks Alex!

ConfiForms, in contrast to many other plugins out there, is developed differently… as a platform or a tool, that enables you to use your creativity and built new things. That’s a lot more difficult to achieve than developing a plugin that can do certain things, and certain things only.

Thank you for your feedback, Markus
